Thanks guys. I guess any oil is likely to have a darkening effect. My concerns come from finishing furniture where previously applied sealers can have nasty effects on the take up of oil. I might try contacting AA to see if they can tell me what is used (presuming the stocks come from Minelli fully ...

Until a few days ago I hadn't owned an AA walnut stock and I don't know what finish is applied by AA. Just picked up an as-new TX200HC. The stock is in original matt finish which I want to preserve. I'm not wanting a substantially darker or more glossy appearance. So, rather than apply a branded sto...

See TenMetrePeter's post in the thread "Bloody hell this US is good". Links there to his youtube video... spot on!

It seems likely the barrel and rail are out of alignment, but one last question: you have ruled out this isn't an issue with scope being set out of vertical or cant when you are shooting? I have a tendency to hold my rifle out of vertical - most butts sit better on my shoulder with a slight tilt whi...

Yes, a problem I've had before. Could be the gun, the scope or the mount. I'm assuming the groupings are good and nothing obviously mechanically wrong with the rifle. If so, first I suggest you check the scope for alignment of optical and adjustment centres. Please excuse me if you know/have done th...

It may not be relevant, but the Rowan magazine includes a shim that is meant to be glued into the loading channel so that it is level with the bottom of the breech. This is to ensure the pellet is aligned when the bolt is pushed forward. I've read somewhere that a couple of people said it also impr...
